Well, as a lot of you know, I'm out of Japan and back to the states, I have a few parts on the way here, in the form of full lip kit (like my old one if anyone remembers), and a vented hood. I'll be staying in Nebraska (CeliRacer hit me up), working in Omaha at the Airbase, Network Engineer position. Anyway, what you came here for is my new wheels...

Enjoy!

Reflection of greatness


Exactly what this car is... accidental coincidence, didn't notice the sign pole until i started processing my images.

Nice car man - the family will like it better too.
Is it Turbo? Specs on motor?

nope, no turbo, not a mazdaspeed... it's got the same 2.0 i4 that the mazda6 gets, but the 3 is smaller, which means quickr and bettr mileage. don't know the base horses, but it's... quick.

So what happened to the Celica? I would have smuggled an ST205 back if I were you.

nice pictures! looks like tilt shift =p

i left japan and moved back to the states, i could've brought it back but for a lot of money, not worth it when i got this for $14k, only 26k miles on it.

thanks man! they are, used my 45mm TS-E mounted on my 5D for these.

OMG I swear you are the king of photos my boy. God! I am drooling in envy! But I bet you do deserve all the good things that come your way, and I hope there is plenty more. You seem like a really good guy. Anyways, congrats on the new car and again, those shots and all you do are simply AMAZING! My cousin is a pro photographer, but of all his experience, expensive equipment, etc... Have I come to this day to tell you nothing compares to your work. Amazing! That is why I praise you.

wow dude, wow. um... call no homo? j/k j/k. thanks man, the encouragement is always great.

very nice! ive seen a few of these around me that are done very tastefully

Nice! Any plans for her?

are you planning on a celica, did you bring any spare parts?

i've already got the window rain guards for all 4 doors, OEM mazda part, along with the "Axela" emblem, the JDM version of the 3, next is going to be tint (limo in the back and darkest legal for the driver and passenger sides), exhaust/intake, then skirts and lip kits.

i have a few celica parts coming over from japan, they'll be here in september. That'll be a vented hood (the one i was working on painting a long time ago, never finished, then replica TRD sides and rears, and a front lip just like the one i had before the Tom's, and that is one i've never seen on anyone's celi on here besides mine. oh, i also have an OEM 2 post spoiler and a white HKS steering wheel. maybe a few other small items. oh, hatch rear extensions too (replica TRD iirc).

and no, I won't be buying another celica anytime soon, this being an 08 should last me at least 7-10 years. by then the subie-celica should be out.
